running in barefeet

About a year ago I, well, lost a little weight and then started running. I know, usually the running comes first, but running hurt too much before the pounds came off so for me, it came second. I remember swearing to my running pal after an early attempt, that I simply hated it and she could count on me never running with her again. I honestly don't know what changed in me, but I LOVE IT now. I mean really love it. So, after a year of running in some very old runners with a hole worn by the heel, I decided it was time to get new shoes which is a huge step for me because I hate spending money and have really gotten away from buying new things. Shoes need to be new. Well, running shoes do.

I bought these! They are barefoot running shoes but without those individuated toes and they are amazing. My legs are killing me as I build back up to my regular distance because totally different muscles are used when your foot strikes in the barefoot running position. I am hoping that I continue to love them- I hope the ache starts to go away soon. They are flippin' cute though, are they not?

I like to run in a little skirt and plan on making one that isn't black spandex really soon. Maybe I'll teach y'all how to make one, if you're interested. Stay tuned. xo

It was a good morning. I had 5 girls sitting at a table ready to go, and there is nothing like that. They were eager and willing to try new...

I'd love to hear from you!
